Monogrammed yoga mat – do we love it?

Here is something I KNOW I love: Hot Yoga Nashville. That’s right – I said hot yoga. And yes, it is exactly what it sounds like. It is yoga practiced in a room heated to more than 100 degrees. And if you had told me this time last year that I would be practicing hot yoga, I imagine the conversation would have gone something like this:

You – “This time next year you will voluntarily be spending several hours per week twisting your body into unnatural shapes while sweating profusely in a room with thirty to forty other people and you will love it.”

Me – “You sir, are a liar.”

But thanks to a little encouragement from a friend and a lot of amazing affects on both the way I feel and, most importantly, the way my clothes fit, I’ve been practicing consistently since January. So I’m always on the lookout for fun new yoga clothes and accessories and I recently stumbled across this – My Custom Yoga Mat.

SO many fun options! (I may or may not have spent the equivalent of .6 billable hours today playing around with my design.) But let’s talk pros and cons:

Pro – It’s adorable.

Con – At $40 it’s a little pricey for something I’m going to drip on.

Pro – But I would use it everyday so it’s cost per use would be teeny.

Con – I would almost certainly spend many more billable hours deciding on a design.

Pro – But putting my name on a yoga mat would surely result in more “good job Shea”s from the instructors which are my very fave part of class.

I think I’m sold. This mat is so cute it would almost be a shame to cover it up with a yoga towel. But then again, given how much I sweat during class it would also be a shame not to. :)
